This is more of what I was going for with the failure-bangle that was in my last blog. I had to find a better focus for color inspiration and what better way to find it then buying a new hair piece for myself! I had been watching this pretty hair clip on Etsy.com for a while and decided that it would go with the dress I'm wearing to an event this month.
I actually came across a hair clip in the usual round-about way of internet surfing. I love keeping up with the Tell Tale Photography Blog (http://www.telltalephotograpy.com/). Melissa's photos are always so amazing. She did a photo shoot with Pixel and Hank, posted them on her blog, and the photos were so great I had to wander over to the Pixel and Hank Etsy Shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pixelandhank from there I found and fell in love with the Shirley Hairclip! http://www.etsy.com/listing/49207816/shirley-fushia-hair-clip
I sat on this one for a while though, I didn't have the right outfit to wear it with, I just loved the colors. Well, I found the perfect brown summery dress and within about a week my first Pixel and Hank hairclip was mine! I normally don't like to bother doing my hair, but I have a feeling I may get a hankering for another one. Also check out Pixel and Hank's Blog: http://pixelandhank.blogspot.com/ They do wonderful pieces for weddings among other events.
Anyway, purchasing the Shirley hair clip was the answer to my desire to use these wonderful fuschia (or magenta) beads that I have and I will be hanging on to this one for a minute so I can wear it with the outfit it is to go with. Maybe I'll get around to getting a photo too.
Now, back to business as I prep for the Ann Arbor Art Fair with the Ann Arbor Fiberarts Guild (we're about at the corner of East Williams and State Street). I made earring cards today!
